Welcome back Adam. I can indeed tell you what gooseneck adapter you'll need for your 5th wheel trailer but I'll need the information on the sticker that's attached to the bracket above your current pin box.

The white sticker should say date of manufacture, weight capacity, and have some form of RPO, LCI, or serial number on it. If you could email me directly a picture of it to the address you receive this response from or carefully put all that information where it says Add Comment, I can find the right gooseneck pin box for you.

@AdamG Thanks for the information Adam. Your 2006 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8280ss has a Venture CJ20515 pin box. I do not have a gooseneck pin box that will fit that bolt pattern or know of one that does. The only replacement pin box I have that will fit a Venture CJ20515 bolt pattern is the Trailair Air Ride item # UF35-946211. This is a Air ride pin box that has a king pin. As far as converting your pin box to a gooseneck adapter goes, my only option is to use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter item # CAB-C5G. It'll bolt directly over your kingpin.

Answer 1

From my research, it looks like your 2006 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8280SS has torsion axles. If this is the case then you will likely need to use the Torflex Lift Kit part #K71-724-02. This kit will provide a 2-7/8" lift and is very easy to…

The reason the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter #CAB-C5G is not recommended for use with factory-installed gooseneck prep packages on Fords from 2011-present and Ram from 2013-present is because they use a gooseneck ball that…

Hey Jordan! Based on your measurement you have a Lippert 1116 or 1716. If you want to confirm that feel free to send me the S/N on your pin box. The Gen-Y Nomad you were looking at is for the Rhino Box so that is not a fit. What you need is the Gen-Y…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hi David, that’s a really good question and I’m glad you’re looking at the bigger picture here, because this is exactly where people start thinking about long term stress and not just whether something will fit. Before I get into that, The Gen-Y…
